Re:Clang Format Tanks Performance

I am undecided on it since I am not in the C++ ecosystem for a long time now, and I am just a beginner in Rust. I get the message there are ways to write suboptimal (in terms of performance) code in Rust as well but I also keep hearing there are much less ways to shoot oneself in the foot, which works very well for me.
Truthfully, even if Rust can be 2x-5x slower than C++ somewhere, I'll still choose it as my static-and-strongly-typed / compiled-to-machine-code language regardless. Least WTFs per minute is my most important metric.
But I am open to see any and all benchmarks which show both strengths and weaknesses of Rust. So far I sadly haven't seen many of them (but I've been mightily impressed by `actix` in the TechEmpower benchmarks!).
